Abstract

OBJECTIVE To investigate the infection status and drug resistance of mycoplasma and chlamydia isolated from female genitourinary tract in order to provide reference for doctors′ reasonable use of medicine.METHODS The IST2 kit produced by Bio-Merieux was used to culture the mycoplasma strains and to do drug susceptibility test.The VEDALAB kit was used to detect chlamydia.RESULTS Among 376 suspected patients with nongonococcal urethritis(NGU),the number of the patients infected by Ureaplasma urealyticum(Uu),mixed strains of Uu and Mycoplasma hominis(Mh),and Chlamydia trachomatis(Ct) were 216,35 and 125,respectively.The positive rate was 57.4%,9.3% and 33.3%,respctively.The drug susceptibility test showed that drug resistance rates of the other six antibiotics in mixed infection of Uu and Mh were higher than that in simple infection of Uu except for josamycin,ofloxacin and doxycycline.The sensitivity of doxycycline,josamycin and platenomycin in mycoplasma was the most highest.CONCLUSIONS Infection in female genitourinary tract is mainly due to Uu.We should reasonably choose and use antibiotics according to drug susceptibility.
